Comparison

There are many reports on reuse experiences available. Most describe experiences in an environment of application development or systems programmed with languages that better lend themselves to reuse, such as Ada, C, and C++. We've found none that describe a reuse program that is introduced for low-cost and that continues to evolve to more mature forms of reuse.

Although our measurement methods are based on existing measurement methods, ours have been refined to focus on quality improvement, and have been expanded upon in an effort to focus on the education, and on the progress of getting reuse momentum going in a development team at the same time that the measurements are used to explain the financial costs and benefits.
